Hello Researchers!
✍️ Important Note: This update is regarding the Research Story Demo version. Players who play on the purchased version the game will not be affected by this update! Thank you!
📖 Demo update from v0.2.7.2 to v0.3
The v0.2.7.2 Research Story Demo has been available since the Feb 2022 Steam Next Fest, and it is a very old version of the game. Since then, lots have been added during Early Access.
One key feature missing from our early Demo is controller support, and we've received multiple comments from players that they are unable to try it out due to that. Now that we're closer to 1.0, we're finally able to update our demo, so that the important features will be consistent across the demo and the Early Access v0.11 version! 😊✨
This change in the demo means a few things:
1) Old demo saves (v0.2.7.2) will not be read by this new version, as they are not compatible. This is a one-time effect, and new demo saves will not be affected.
2) The saves created in the new demo (v0.3) will be compatible with the purchased version.
3) The new demo will have a time limit for each save playthrough. Players can play 5 in-game days before the demo ends.
4) You can still create multiple save files in the demo.
Since the v0.3 demo is very close to the full version of the game, this is likely the last time I'll update the demo (aside from major bugfixes)!
Thank you everyone for playing Research Story! Happy New Year! 🎉
